EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant plaque, located on the edge of Juno Beach at Bernières-sur-Mer in Normandy, France, commemorates the bravery and historic first steps of the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. As one of the first formations to come ashore, the Highlanders played a pivotal role in the Allied invasion, paving the way for the liberation of France and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. The inscription on the plaque reads, "In Memory of the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders, who landed here on D-Day, June 6, 1944, and were among the first to reach Caen on July 9, 1944." The image of the plaque, taken on the side of a German bunker, serves as a powerful reminder of the fierce battles that took place on this very spot during World War II. The Highlanders' legacy continues to inspire generations, symbolizing courage, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the Allied forces. As one of the many plaques scattered along the shores of Normandy, this memorial stands as a testament to the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought for freedom during this pivotal moment in history. The Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders' story is one of honor, determination, and triumph, forever etched in the annals of military history.
